I noticed that even jet fighters with max interception upgrades would only do 30-40 damage or so to a bomber which is one era behind.
Since only one unit can intercept a single unit, you can send 1 bomber into an area protected by 10 fighters and not worry about it getting shot down. Sure you take some extra damage (30-40) but thats easily healed up, especially if you have air repair.
I dont see any way to shoot down attacking fighters/bombers unless you have such a massive tech lead that you are intercepting triplanes with fighters or something.
Also even though you intercept a bomber, it will still do damage to its target. I found out the hard way when the AI just zerged my carriers with bombers...even though i intercepted all of them, the bombers still did enough damage to sink the carrier and all the planes with it. How many bombers did he lose? None, because intercepting jet fighters cant deal enough damage to kill bombers...
